How to set permisions for git so it runs without sudo

Question

I have problem with git permisions. When I run git from console i have to add sudo in front of it to get it to work, but when I use NetBeans GUI the script runs without the 'sudo' command and in result I am promped with this error message:

[ java.io.IOException: No access ]

What do i have to do to make it work ?

Permision of my /var/www/html/apps/blog directory content

Solution

As you can see in your ls output, the .git directory is owned by root, and you don't have write access to it. Fix it with this command:

sudo chown -R wiktor:wiktor /var/www/html/apps/blog/.git

This will transfer file ownership of the git directory and everything in it back to you.

What does Brak dostępu mean?

[DevWL]

oh sorry! :) shame on me. It means access denied

[DevWL]

or simple no permisions to execute this command from NetBeans GUI

[s3lph]

What does ls -l /usr/bin/git give back?

[DevWL]

my project is located in: /var/www/html/apps/blog

[s3lph]

What are the permissions on /var/ww/html/ and subdirectories?
